Door frames on partially tiled walls - looking for example photos

Hello,

in the bathrooms, the wall tiles are only laid up to about 1.50m in height.
When the door frame is mounted on this, a gap to the wall arises above the wall tiles.

The door manufacturer explained to me that the tiles in the frame area should initially be left free, then the frame is mounted, and then the tiling is done.
Advantage: no gap, the frame is flush with the wall everywhere
Disadvantage: the thickness/depth of the frame is largely swallowed by the thickness of the tile, which could look odd

The tiler said that’s nonsense and first the tiles come, then the frame is attached, and the resulting gap must either be sealed with silicone or, if done professionally, equipped with an additional wooden strip.
Advantage: the frame is fully visible in all its glory
Disadvantage: at the top, the frame is much thicker/deeper due to the wooden strip.

It is quite "coincidental" that the proposed solution is naturally much easier for whoever is performing the work.

I am now interested to know what your opinion is regarding the appearance of the executions?
Do you perhaps have photos of how it is done at your place, so I can see the differences and get a better idea of the different looks?
That would be really great.

Photos are therefore requested of the following free variants:
1) Frame on wall and tiled in
2) Frame on tile and gap sealed with silicone
3) Frame on tile and equipped with wooden strip

Thank you very much.

I once spoke to our architect about that.

With us, when there is tiling at half height (or 2m height), the rest of the wall is plastered flush with the tiles afterwards. Then this problem doesn’t occur.
Apparently it’s not really more complicated, the plasterer just has to come back afterwards.

So base plaster ---> tiler ---> finish plaster ---> painter ---> interior door.

We do not have tiles everywhere. Near the door there are tiled pre-wall installations with a) toilet guest WC and b) washbasin bathroom. The rest is plastered wall. It never gets damp or wet there. The tiled pre-wall thus stands out nicely on the wall.

Who gets it damp or wet near the door so that there must be tiles there?

Tiles all around, has nothing to do with moisture near the door

2 and 3 look visually awkward because a tile applies at least 1cm + 5-8 mm adhesive.

With a standard door frame, that is a 5cm gap and it looks bulky.

Is it possible not to tile the wall at the door at all? And only allow tiling up to the corner?

So here. Karsten
